Remembrance

Only when it has just been picked can it be processed to the maximum extent to preserve the medicinal property, and some need to be processed within the specified time after soaking in the medicinal liquid, otherwise it will either become poison or be scrapped, and this kind of potion material , are often hard to find and hard to make.

"Harry, stop it." Snape sighed, "You need your medicine."

"I'm ready." Harry said stubbornly, holding a book in his hand, and unconsciously rolled up the book in his hand while turning his head aside.

Looking at his movements, Snape thought of Tom's habits that he had seen so often during this period, and thought that they were father and son, and their habits were similar.

"You know your own physical condition, huh?" He put the potion bottle on the table, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, and looked down at Harry, "Why are you making trouble?"

He stared at Harry, not letting go of the slightest expression on the other's face. The man's eyes were tightly closed, as if the green that was slightly opened before was an illusion. Although the man was awkward, his brows were actually It didn't wrinkle, but the corners of the mouth were pulled slightly to the side, very resembling...

Snape's hand holding the armrest tightened suddenly, and he continued to bend down, bringing their faces extremely close.

Harry could feel his breath on his face, and he was slightly over his head.

However, that breath followed like a shadow.

A soft touch spread from the lips, but it was too strong for him to refuse.

He fell into a warm embrace, someone hugged him tightly, as if he was holding the rarest treasure in the world, the soft touch on his lips lingered and refused to leave, but he could hear someone expressing satisfaction but A longing sigh, familiar yet unfamiliar.

He felt his head go blank, just as he stretched out his hand to hug him back, the scorching breath had already moved to his ear, and he murmured in a low voice: "If you don't want to drink it yourself, I don't mind feeding you." Some switch was touched, he jumped up from the opponent's arms, grabbed the bottle in an instant, and suffocated in one breath like drinking beer.

The effect of the sleeping ingredient in the potion took effect almost immediately, Snape held him in his arms, and sat on the reclining chair, shaking slightly.

He looked at the face that was sleeping soundly, and slowly put his lips on the tightly closed eyes.

He knew what was broken by the magic riot/movement that day. Harry's memory showed no signs of recovery, but many habits were slowly recovering, just like the act of acting like a baby just now, it was when Harry was awkward and refused to take medicine in the past The usual method, and often, he would give Harry a kiss, wait until the other party was in a daze, and then deliver the potion to him himself.

"Are you coming back?" He sighed softly and hugged him tighter.

When Edward finished washing the dishes and came to the second floor, he was about to speak out, but saw Snape making a silent gesture to him.

Snape had already put Harry on the chair, and covered Harry with a thin blanket. The summer sun was very harsh, but because of the magic, the sunlight shining on Harry's body became warm and comfortable. gentle.

Tom also finished processing the potion materials, took his summer homework to the second floor, sat at the table in front of Harry without even looking at Edward, and buried himself in his summer homework.

He didn't care about Dad at all.

Edward thought to himself, it was not yet noon, and Dad fell asleep, why didn't he ask.

The more I thought about it in my heart, the more I looked down on Tom.

Snape was holding Harry's hand at the side, watching him sleep soundly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but when he was distracted to look at Edward, he frowned indistinctly.

Tom looked up from the parchment and gave Snape a sneering look that meant "your son looks like he wants to kill me".

Snape shook his head at Tom, signaling to ignore him for the time being, and continued to lower his head.

☆, the so-called contradiction

When Harry woke up, he no longer remembered the awkward incident before taking the medicine. This was expected by Snape, but it was also unexpected. Harry's memory faults had begun to connect, but because Harry's suppression of himself led to the repetition of these memories. The magic hints given by people with powerful magic power are the most powerful. Harry wants to break his own shackles, not only until his soul stabilizes, but also When his magic power returned to its peak - when Tom told him that Harry's magic power was growing, he knew that the magic power in Harry that couldn't be mobilized because Harry didn't have a wand was slowly recovering.

Harry and Sirius had brought back a large collection of Muggle supplies, thankfully all the wizards in the house used them.

Tom once expressed to Snape that he might not be able to pay attention to Harry's situation all the time. At that time, Snape still felt strange, because he felt that according to the degree of Tom's concern for Harry, he should not be at ease with Harry. , but when he saw little Harry running towards Tom as soon as he came back, he knew why.

Because they are actually hiding many things from little Harry on purpose, so this little guy knows the least in the whole family now. Tom will not deliberately reveal these things to make Harry worry, so when little Harry comes to find him, he will usually accompany him. by his side.

Harry brought back some sports balls that Muggle teenagers often play. Tom actually didn't like this kind of physical exercise, but he couldn't bear to spoil Harry's interest, so he took Sirius to accompany Harry in the yard. Lee play.

Harry has received many letters from students in the past few days. He has been respected by all the students in the school throughout the year. Being blind will not hinder his teaching. On the contrary, because he is blind, he can still accurately understand the class Every move of everyone at the time, the students thought it was even more a magical thing.

His teaching method has been recognized by most of the students. Even the Weasley brothers, who caused Professor McGonagall the most headache, are very well-behaved in Harry's class, which also makes the enthusiastic Molly Weasley stay with Harry. I was very impressed, after all, there are not many people who can control the twins.

Harry was still busy during the summer vacation. He once said to his students that the summer homework he assigned should be at the level they should have, but because these students have experienced several professor changes, a lot of knowledge is actually grasping Not sure, he allows his students to give up part of the homework that is too difficult, but if there are studious children who really want to finish the homework, he welcomes letters from the children.

Most of the letters to Harry are students who are about to enter the fifth and seventh grades. They will face big exams, so they must not be free even during the summer vacation.

Of course, there were also letters from students in other grades, among which Hermione Granger sent the most greeting letters. This little girl went abroad for a not-so-short trip accompanied by her parents during the holidays, and then devoted herself to her studies. In the book, the parchment she wrote to Harry was very long, but when Tom checked the parchment, he found that it was not only talking about problems, but also her concern and greetings to Harry and fragmentary personal travel experiences. The experience was very new to Harry who had always been at home with Harry and him in recent years. When Tom handed the letter to Harry, he thought that Gryffindor was not without its advantages.

There are always two copies of Hermione's letters, one for Harry and one for little Harry. It seems that she has figured out little Harry's temper and knows that he will definitely share everything about herself with Tom. , instead of asking Harry to say hello to Tom for her, she wrote Tom's name after Harry's name in the first line.

Occasionally Ron would write, usually only to little Harry, but sometimes his letters would be followed by letters from the twins to Harry. Having been very interested in the prank supplies they make and making the occasional suggestion, I have been writing to discuss these with Harry regularly.

Tom couldn't understand such behavior, but Snape sneered and told Tom: "The twins' store still had Harry's funds in it."

Tom felt that he might strangle his professor to death at some point, because what he heard from this professor recently was nothing to do with his father's current mature, stable, gentle and generous temperament, but Edward could hear With relish, he longed to know everything about his father.

Harry occasionally writes a letter himself, and occasionally calls Tom and Harry over to tell them the questions raised by the students and asks them to write a reply. More often, he sits on a deck chair and basks in the sun. He finds that he often can’t remember. Speaking of major events in recent days, like the day after they went to pick up the ring, he had a magic riot, but it was only these few days that he suddenly remembered to ask Tom if the ring was properly disposed of.

At the same time, he found that he remembered more and more the things that he couldn't remember before. Although they were just some vague shadows, they actually remembered slowly.

"Now that you're up from bed, you should go for some activities," Snape sat beside him. "You look like an old man, lazily basking in the sun all day."

Harry chuckled, but he still lay lazily: "Edward followed them to play?"

"En." Snape said, "Sirius took the three of them and said that he was going to take a look around. There are quite a few wizard families here, so don't worry about them."

"I've confiscated their wands, I'm not worried, it's just..." He paused, looking a little hesitant.

"What?" Snape asked.

"Severus, maybe I'm overthinking, but I always feel that Edward seems to have something on his mind." He frowned slightly, "He has been by my side all this time, and I can easily detect that a person Edward can still calm down when he is by my side, but once he gets along with Tom and Harry, he seems to become a little more irritable."

Snape was silent.

"Actually, I also thought that if I was with my peers, I would be more relaxed. Maybe he would be more restrained when he was around me, but I have been paying attention to his situation these days, and found that it is not what I thought." Harry tapped his thigh with his fingers, "Severus, I don't know if you noticed, this kid..."

Before the words were finished, there was a loud closing sound on the first floor, and then they heard the sound of "da da" running, and it was not long before the sound of the second door slamming.

"What's going on?" Harry was taken aback and stood up quickly.

Another voice came from the first floor, and it was getting closer and closer. It should be coming upstairs, but compared to the first voice's panic, this person seemed much calmer, which made Harry guess quickly Who is the other party: "Tom, are you back?"

"Dad." Although he seemed to be walking calmly, Snape at the side had already seen his frowning, "Did you scare Dad just now?"

"Are you back alone? Where's Harry? And who was that just now?" Harry waved at his son. Although he was anxious, he didn't mean to press him. Instead, he asked Tom in a soft voice. thing.

"I had some conflicts with little Mr. Snape just now. Harry and Sirius were still strolling around. I was worried and he came back." Tom said while giving Snape a cold look.

"I'll go see Edward," said Snape, pursing his lips. "And, I'm very sorry for his behaviour."

"It's inevitable for children to have quarrels, go and see that little guy, and don't make him sad." Harry said to Snape understandingly, and only after Snape left, he pulled Tom When he came in front of himself, he frowned and said slowly, "You are not the kind of person who will have conflicts with others, even if the other party really makes you unhappy, and he is still a guest at our house, you will have some scruples, Tom, you Tell me honestly, is there something wrong with Edward?"

Tom was silent and didn't speak. Usually his attitude meant that he could handle the matter himself and Harry didn't need to worry, but today Harry was unexpectedly forceful: "Tell me, Tom, what's going on."

Tom looked at Harry in surprise. He suddenly realized that it wasn't just little Snape who was wrong, his father had also become very wrong. Although he looked kind to everyone, he seldom treated any children. It's so comprehensive, let alone asking the bottom of this matter after he has made it clear that he can handle it.

And Harry who said this sentence quickly realized that something was wrong with him, he was stunned for a moment, and then slowed down his tone again: "Sorry Tom, Dad didn't mean it, can you forgive Dad for being too eager before? "

Tom was silent for a long time before he decided to tell the truth: "Father, to be honest, I think Edward has become very wrong. He seems to have become more and more irritable, and he is gradually turning to violence to solve many things. He was asking me just now. I briefly talked about the life with you and Harry these years, and then he got angry, so I was very worried about him, so I chased him all the way back."

Harry patted Tom on the shoulder lightly, and his brows were slightly frowned. This was exactly what he wanted to tell Severus just now. Both he and Tom could see that something was wrong with Edward. As Edward's father, Severus, It's impossible not to see the strangeness of his son. There must be something wrong with the sudden change of temperament in a short period of time without stimulation. Now he just doesn't know if he was cursed by someone or affected by black magic items.

"Thank you Tom, pay more attention to Edward's situation during this time, and protect little Harry. If there is anything wrong with Edward, you must tell me or Professor Snape, understand?"

Tom nodded slowly. He himself felt that something was wrong with Edward's situation. Logically speaking, both he and Snape had confirmed that the black magic on the ring would not harm Harry. Harry, a person with a damaged soul, could Unaffected, why is Edward still affected by the ring? He can see that Edward's hostility is aimed at him. This kind of rigid hostility actually existed in school, but it has been rapidly expanded here. surprise him.

"I understand Dad, I'll keep an eye on him," Tom said to Harry.

The author has something to say: I can finally start the ending, with tears streaming down my face

☆, the so-called visitors

"Hey, where are Edward and Tom?" When Harry and Sirius had finished playing and turned back, they found that the two people behind them had disappeared.

Sirius smiled: "We should go back first, and we should go back to Harry." The closer to noon, the hotter the sun. Although the weather in the UK can change a lot, the temperature at noon in summer can't change. How many.

【hiss. ] Just when Harry nodded and was about to go back, he saw a small snake appear out of nowhere and quickly wrapped around Harry's wrist.

"What's that, snake?" Sirius called in surprise, looking at what was wrapped around Harry's wrist.

"Shh, keep your voice down Sirius, Aurora has brought us a message." Harry said softly, then put his hand to his ear, and made a gesture of brushing the fine hair behind his ear.

【There is someone following you all the time, Harry, be careful now, and pull your godfather back. 】Aurora's Parseltongue itself was not easy for people to hear, not to mention it was almost whispered close to Harry's ear.

Harry quickly sensed that something was wrong, and he took Sirius' hand: "I'm worried about Tom, let's go back and find him, Sirius." During the speech, the hands that grabbed Sirius gradually tightened, which made Sirius understand Noticing something was wrong with his godson, he put his arms around his godson's shoulders, looking very helpless.

"You, why don't you hang around Tom all day long? Tom is a very smart kid, and no one can get into trouble with him. Why are you worried about him?" That's what he said, but he still pretended to be right to his godson. The request was helpless, and he walked back with his godson.

However, when they were walking back, the people who followed them seemed to have discovered that they knew his existence, so they followed them openly.

Harry was only thinking about going home, while Sirius was secretly surprised, wondering whether the people following them were simply looking for them to attack them or whether they wanted to follow them home and then step on the spot.

Thinking of this, he pulled Harry to stop: "Harry, let me tell you."

"Huh?" Harry didn't know why, and turned his head to look at Sirius.

The next moment, there was a crushing feeling, but before he could react, the apparition was over.

At the same time, a surprising guest came to Harry's house.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Riddle," Lucius looked at the young man behind the door, his hands trembled without a trace, but he quickly hid his surprise. Although he knew the other party's existence, it was still them meeting for the first time.

This... is very likely to be the youth of the Dark Lord...

Draco behind him looked at Tom and blinked suspiciously. Before his father said he was going to find the godfather, although he was not surprised to go to Spider's End, but the godfather was erratic during the summer vacation and went to the new There is nothing wrong with looking for someone anywhere, but why did Riddle appear here?

"Mr. Malfoy," Tom raised his eyebrows slightly, "I haven't received a visit from the Malfoy family."

"Excuse me for being so sudden," Lucius said. "Actually, I thought only Severus should be here. I'm sorry."

"Come in." Tom slowly opened the door, "Professor Snape is dealing with some things, maybe you can accept the tea time earlier."

As soon as Lucius entered the door, there was a loud noise at the door. The tense Sirius appeared at the door with Harry in his arms. The moment he entered, he threw a series of spells outside the room, which made Lucius and Tom look at each other. They couldn't help but get dark, and they could see that the spells arranged by Sirius were a series of protective spells that were only used in times of crisis.

"Tom..." Before he could speak, he saw the person standing at the door, "Lucius?"

"Mr. Malfoy is here to visit Professor Snape. Harry, Sirius, come in first." After thinking about it, he knew something was wrong, so he could only call into the room, "Dad, we have guests."

Lucius was a little surprised by this. According to Draco, this is a perfect Slytherin, but how could a Slytherin make such a move...

But after all, he was someone else's guest, not as simple as he was just visiting Severus, so he could only suppress the surprise in his heart, and followed the other person into the room.

The furnishings in the room are simple and elegant, but Lucius also noticed that the furnishings inside seemed...too simple, and unnecessary decorations have been confiscated. The tea table in front of the sofa only has a vase with open Very bright flowers.

There were gentle footsteps on the second floor, approaching from far away, and someone came down.

"Professor Evans?" he heard Draco say in his ear.

"Draco?" He looked slightly sideways at his son.

Draco quickly introduced: "This is our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this semester, Professor Harry Evans."

Harry heard Draco's words and smiled slightly: "Mr. Malfoy."

Lucius looked at the young man with a gentle smile and lowered his eyelids slightly. He had heard that Dumbledore had invited a blind professor to teach Defense Against the Dark Arts. Because of this, Dumbledore I received a lot of shouting letters, but to everyone's surprise, this blind professor actually made the students more interested in this course, and from the seventh-grade and fifth-grade exams this semester Judging from their average grades, Hogwarts students have really changed a lot in a year. At least the situation of this year's final exam is much better than last year's.

Even when Draco wrote a letter home, he admired this professor very much.

He stepped forward and said to the other party: "Lucius Malfoy, I'm sorry that I didn't discuss the time of the visit in advance before coming. I wanted to come to Severus because of some urgent matters." Severus, who was close, lived with so many people, not to mention that there was a suspected Dark Lord, Tom Riddle, who both of them were very afraid of.

However, what surprised him was that the other party smiled slightly, and asked in that unhurried tone, "Is it because of Voldemort?"

As soon as the name came out, Draco and Lucius couldn't help but stiffen.

Tom, on the other hand, was very disapproving of Harry worrying about Voldemort's affairs. In his opinion, with him and Harry, the savior, it was enough to deal with the main soul who had lost his mind and body.

"Dad." There was a hint of resignation and disapproval in his voice, which made Harry quickly understand what he meant.

"It's okay Tom, please come in, we can't stand here and talk." Harry rubbed Tom's head and comforted him gently.

Afterwards, he took out snacks and black tea to entertain the guests: "Let Draco sit down too." He said, "Although he is young, he is a child of the Malfoy family after all, and there is nothing wrong with knowing these things. At Harry's age, I rarely shy away from him, they need to know the situation they should face."

"Harry, how do you know who is looking for us?" Sirius asked with a frown.

"The "Daily Prophet" just reported this morning that the dementors have escaped from prison. We all know who can do this. As for the reason why Mr. Malfoy came here, I think it should be the Dark Mark. You've got a fever, right?" Harry turned to Lucius, although he couldn't see it, it didn't prevent Lucius from seeing his respect for him from his expression.

Since Harry could say such a thing, it proved that the other party already knew about his situation. However, he was wary of everyone present, so he didn't answer Harry's question.

"Every child here will become Voldemort's nightmare," Harry smiled faintly, "Don't be afraid of losing face in front of them, Mr. Malfoy, face can't keep you from the heat of the Dark Mark, you should Knowing that he doesn't have much patience for you to waste his time." After a pause, he took out the Daily Prophet, "As the dementors escaped from prison, there were also many wizards who were sentenced to life imprisonment/imprisonment. Escaping, more than half of them are Death Eaters, others don't know, but if it is you, seeing these names, you should know how many people there are by his side now."

Lucius just glanced at the newspaper, the names listed on it were enough to make him panic.

"Even Mr. Malfoy can't resist the appearance of this large group of people on his own." Harry said, "You probably came here today to find a solution with Severus, But I have better ways to help you than Severus."

"Professor Evans," Lucius looked at him suspiciously, "you and I are just meeting each other for the first time."

"I have a close friend." Harry had a nostalgic smile on the corner of his mouth, "I have a very deep relationship with the Malfoy family. Although I don't remember all of it now, my instinct tells me that I must prevent this disaster for the Malfoy family. Otherwise he will turn against me."

"Lucius." Snape's voice suddenly came from the other side of the stairs, and at some point, Snape had already come down, with deep fatigue in his brows, "Just listen to Harry." .”

Lucius wanted to ask something, but seeing Snape's obvious reluctance, he could only purse his lips and finally nodded.

"Go back and seal Malfoy Manor, and then bring your family here, don't disturb anyone, warn the house-elves to go nowhere, don't let anyone find you, Tom," Harry said to his son, " The Dark Mark on Mr. Malfoy's hand is left to you."

Tom nodded slowly, his face not looking good.

As if knowing what he was angry about, he stretched out his hand and slowly rubbed his son's head: "I will not interfere in this matter, this is the fate that you and Harry need to face, but you should know that you need to do something before that." What." Voldemort still had a Horcrux, which he hadn't found yet.

"I'll go out later, there should be no one around here," Tom said.

Draco sat quietly on the chair. Although he didn't understand what the adults were talking about, he actually knew a lot about these things with Lucius' teachings for so many years. At the same time, although he was very puzzled as to why Tom could remove the Dark Mark, since Harry was the savior, Tom would naturally be no worse off.

"Sirius, please protect Harry these few days, don't go anywhere, Azkaban's dementors and prisoners escaped, the wizarding world should be in chaos these days, Harry, write to your friends , Don’t wander around recently, be careful.”

Harry carefully instructed everyone what to do, Snape stood behind him, watching him straighten his back, in a trance, as if seeing such a fearless leader in battle again with fast but flat The tone of voice to appease everyone's anxiety.

He clearly knew that his Harry was coming back.

The author has something to say: post a chapter to tease you~(~o￣▽￣)~o

☆, the so-called familiar

No one knows why there is a sudden large-scale jailbreak in Azkaban, and the Ministry of Magic has no time to respond. The "Daily Prophet" reported this incident as if they thought the matter was not messy enough, pointing the finger at Fudge who handled the matter in a mess , intending to expand the fact that Sirius was wronged for 12 years before, expressing openly and secretly that Fudge is not suitable to continue to sit in this position, and it is the right choice to resign and leave immediately.

As for those Death Eaters who ran away, they have not calmed down after more than ten years. The decision of life imprisonment/imprisonment made by the Ministry of Magic was correct, but they are still a little soft-hearted. They should give each prisoner a soul-destroyer The strange kiss, so that there will be no such bad things after more than ten years.

The public has not realized that this matter is related to the mysterious person, and they commented on this matter with relish with the Daily Prophet. Even the people who work in the Ministry of Magic just think that this matter is just an exaggeration of the "Daily Prophet". The Daily Prophet created confusion in their work and didn't think deeper.

Fudge himself would naturally not think of the mysterious man, and even if he had this thought in his mind sometimes, he would immediately tell himself that the man was dead and would never come back.

During his tenure, such a major event must not happen.

Only Mr. Weasley sensed something was wrong in the younger son's sneer.

On July 31st, when he watched Ron send out the birthday present that their family wanted to give to Harry, he suddenly thought of something. After Ron released the owl, he pulled Ron to the dining table: "Ron Well, tell Dad honestly, didn't you hear something from Harry before that you always told me to be careful when I go out recently?"

Ron's face turned red in an instant, and he opened his mouth again and again, but he didn't know what to say.

"Arthur, what's the matter?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, the whole family stopped eating breakfast, "What's going on?"

"Ron, can you tell Dad why you said such things recently?" Arthur asked softly.

"I...I..." Ron struggled for a while before he whispered, "Harry wrote to me recently and always told us not to go out. He said that the dementor's escape was not the Daily Prophet. It’s so simple, but I think Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, if there is anything, he should know it before Harry, but...but I’m still worried, just...just..." Arthur always said that when he went out.

Although Harry is the same age as him, Harry is actually special to the entire wizarding world. For some reason, he and Hermione trust Harry's words very much. After Harry mentioned this matter, Hermione told him The letter also told him to be careful, because he was the most irritable among the three, so he had to pay attention to this matter.

"Merlin!" Molly exclaimed, "This...could it be..."

"We don't know the situation yet, so let's not scare ourselves," Arthur comforted his wife, "But what Ron said is not unreasonable, something has indeed happened in the Ministry of Magic recently, Molly, you and the children Be careful, you know?"

Molly nodded, turned around and warned the naughtiest twins in her family: "Did you hear what your father said, if I find you..."

"Also, Ron, you have to continue to contact Harry. If there is anything, you must tell us as soon as possible. Dad will not disbelieve you. Don't be afraid of this, you know?"

Ron nodded.

On the evening of July 31, Harry made a big cake.

This is the most lively time at home on Harry's birthday for a long time. Lucius brought his family to live here permanently. The Dark Mark on his body has been removed by Tom, but for his safety, Harry forbids them to leave the house , the scope of their family's interaction can only be here for the time being.

Thankfully the Malfoy family didn't mind that.

Narcissa Malfoy is a gentle mother who treats all the children in the house equally, and is the only one in the Black family who can still be kind to Sirius after he is kicked out of the house.

In the evening, Dumbledore came here with a gift: "Come and see Professor Evans, and I remember that today is little Harry's birthday, I brought some candy." Dumbledore said with a smile.

It wasn't just "some", when the contents of the jar were poured out, all kinds of candies were piled up on the whole table, and they were stacked higher and higher, even Tom couldn't help but look at the pile of candies made of candies Cheng's "Xiaoshan" pointed his eyes: When will this be eaten?

Narcissa put the candy away with a smile, and told Harry that he could only eat a certain amount a day, not continuously, anyway, it would not break if it was placed in a jar, but if the teeth were broken, she promised to ask Severus to make one Give them the worst potion ever.

Dumbledore smiled cheerfully as he watched the children squabble.

"Severus, I think we need a room to talk, I want to know how Professor Evans is doing," he said to Snape.

Snape nodded and led Dumbledore up to the third floor.

"I saw that Edward seemed unhappy." Without getting to the point, Dumbledore said what he had seen before, "Are the children having conflicts?"

"Not really." Snape said flatly, "It will be all right after a while, thank you for coming."

"I haven't celebrated my child's birthday with me for a long time, thank you for inviting me." Dumbledore said with a smile, "And this summer vacation is very meaningful for me."

"This is the first time you've been to Germany in so many years, right?" Snape said lightly.
